Chapter 1568: The American on the other side of the ocean 3

The Americans have carefully calculated that the loss of the Bavarian Army has not been large. From the perspective of Bavaria and the Bohemia and Moravia controlled by the prince, the mobilization rate of the troops is actually not high. Therefore, Ruprecht On the contrary, the prince is most hopeful to continue to repair the Japanese with the Americans.

Of course, another important reason is that Bavaria has had similar things before. Whether it was the Boer War or helping Turkey against the Italians in North Africa, they performed well. Therefore, Theodore Roosevelt wanted to try Bavaria signed a separate agreement to clean up the Japanese with the Bavarian Army and the US Army. Of course, money is indispensable. But in this way, the German central government is avoided. It has also become easier to deal with some things.

The Americans’ abacus is very good. After the war, the various guns, tanks and other weapons produced in the war must be processed after the war. At this time, the Americans directly receive these "surplus materials" at low prices. That's it. In this way, the US government can save a lot of money, and at the same time, it can form an army that is at least strong on paper.

This is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, in history, Americans took this path. Many troops of the U.S. Army went to France empty-handed in World War I, and then took the Saosha machine guns and 75 rapid-fire guns provided by the French on the battlefield. After the end of World War 1, the army’s equipment had traces of French for a long time, but the plane was replaced by Germans.

The Americans thought a lot this time and wanted to accomplish a lot. While Theodore Roosevelt and General Benson went to talk with the prince, General Pershing, the number one man in the U.S. Army, would also go with the U.S. government. The Kaiser discusses related issues.

The outcome of this meeting can even be regarded as the cornerstone of the Wilson administration's attitude towards Germany. If Ruprecht’s attitude is good, then everyone can continue to be friends, but if the attitude is not good, then some things will change. After all, Germany before World War I was not the world’s hegemon, but if After the end of the First World War, Germany has definitely embarked on the path of a real and actual power, whether it is power, area, population, or influence. The German national strategy will definitely change!

Such important talks will naturally rule Germany first. For the representatives from across the ocean, the Kaiser need not say that they must be received cautiously. The Americans’ national strength and financial resources shocked the German government, even though they have always treated themselves. Germans who are quite confident about the scale of heavy industry also have to admit that in terms of scale, the United States is better than Germany, and in terms of resources, it is even more than a thousand miles away. To show his solemnity, the Kaiser will return to Berlin to meet Pershing and his party. The private identity visits of Theodore Roosevelt and Benson looked much worse on the surface, but the prince must also be careful!

"To some extent, the pressure on my side is even greater." Ruprecht said helplessly during the St. Sophia's Bavarian Legion's retreat. The Germans and the princes are naturally coming to such a big thing. After some discussion, the prince mentioned to the Emperor that his opinion is very simple, that is, to resolutely implement the agreement signed with the US government before, whether it is the ownership of the colony and the dispatch of naval forces will proceed in accordance with the previous agreement. The same applies to the repayment of loans and materials after the war. Therefore, as long as the Kaiser accomplishes these two points, the basic agreement between governments will not change.

But the prince’s side is different. The Americans want more than just Germany’s previous commitments, and Germany also cannot give up the entire Far East. There is a game between them. And more importantly, the attitudes of Germany and the United States are different for Japan. The United States must want Japan to die. However, for Germany’s interests, it is too expensive to kill Japan completely, and it will intensify the relationship between Japan and the United States. Contradiction is the most important thing. At the same time, how to ensure Germany's interests in the Far East market is the most important.

Although watching the prince, the world may have to fight World War II, but the prince did not want to fight with the Americans so early. After all, after World War I, Germany has to deal with various domestic affairs. At this time On the contrary, it is the time when Germany is least prone to use force. Therefore, for a long period of time, perhaps 5 years or even 10 years, Germany needs to heal the wounds of war and consolidate and control new territories and colonies. It is impossible for Germany to deploy a large number of troops in the Far East, so in order to ensure its own interests at this time, it must cooperate with the Americans. ,

And Theodore Roosevelt finalized political matters, but military matters also need to be finalized. As the most capable general in Germany at present, (whether it is naval or land warfare), to be honest, Japan is not easy to fight. Think about World War II, the Americans got serious and still fought Japan for 3 years. At this time, the prince was sure that the United States certainly has no consciousness of fighting the country, and Germany does not! Japan will never give in easily. What about Britain and France? He must support Japan. If a group of Anglo-French volunteers can appear on the battlefield, the prince will not be surprised. After all, if the First World War ends according to the prince’s script Britain and France will have no influential allies in the world.......

And if it is to get to the tactical level, to be honest, let’s not talk about land warfare. There is no easy way to conduct island operations in the tropics. Even in the second battle environment, the United States has absolute firepower and military advantage and still fights on islands. The prince paid a lot of money in China, but the prince did not want to use the lives of the Germans to benefit the American emperor! As for naval battles? Don’t look at the strength of the fleet being crushed, but, to be honest, in such a vast area of ​​the Pacific, if the Japanese do not fight you decisively, but use the fast fleet to attack the U.S. logistics supply line, it will really drag the battle to the bladder. The game is over. Although the German fast battleship is very powerful, its endurance itself is limited. If you target the North Sea fleet, you can put it on the Pacific Ocean to fight sports war... very good, very powerful!

After communicating with the Kaiser, the Kaiser agreed to let the prince receive Theodore Roosevelt and Benson according to his needs. In the end, all he had to do was to submit a report. Three days before the Americans arrived, the prince was finally done. All the preparations, whether it is the deployment of the team's battlefield army and the domestic arrangements, are left to others. Now, he only needs to do one thing, and that is to receive Theodore Roosevelt and General Benson of the US Navy!
